So I've been trying to prune down all the cruft, bloat, and unused system components my laptop has built up over the years, and in the process I re-discovered the "two-state system" that is the Linux Audio Stack.
All I personally want out of my audio stack is to be able to have sound come from all my programs, and to go to either my speakers, Bluetooth or USB headsets without having to write more than a few dozen lines of config for each.
It seems that it used to be what you needed Pulse for, but the most recent threads I could find were like four years old, and even then seemed to be saying that things were changing, what with ALSA now implementing software mixing through extensions (which are now included in the default install, I think).
Further, I discovered other options. JACK has been around for a while, and PipeWire seems to have just shown up recently. So when you need more than ALSA maybe there's more than one game in town now.
Curious what the advantages/disadvantages are for a pure ALSA stack, what extensions/configurations you need to make it work best, and finally if there's anything that it seems it still just can't do.
